With the data-driven approach Neal developed, Grocapitus has a strong track record based on the actual return investors received.

My question is, what's the best approach on getting this going.

Many lenders allow for low-down-payment options if the rental income covers the loan.You’re approaching this deal thoughtfully, but be sure to communicate the benefits of your offers clearly to overcome resistance from the seller's representative.

I agree with this approach!

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.

Depends how you approach them and if you’re ready to pull the trigger when you find the right deal.

Our logical process:1) Use Neighborhood rankings to narrow down area of city you want to invest in2) Focus on getting to know that Neighborhood(s), so you know the good & bad streets, block-by-block.3) Be patient to acquire properties on good streets that meet your buying criteria.Our rankings are done with a "bell curve" approach.

He confronted (and still does confront, present tense) the hand he was dealt with dignity and a “no excuses” approach.

The only advantage to this approach is to use the retirement funds without incurring taxes right now (ie UBIT), so compounding.

I took that approach with everything I rebuilt at my property in FMB and there is a peace of mind from knowing exactly how to handle the next hurricane.
